    Thank you for your work in monitoring the stealthy attempts to undermine the presence of our monarch in Australia.

    Q: Do you agree with the proposal that the USA join the Commonwealth of Nations as an associate member?
    A: Yes

    USA joining the Commonwealth. What do you think?



    There are reports in the international media that plans are 'being discussed at the highest levels' of British government that the United States become an 'associate member' of the Commonwealth of Nations, earlier known as the British Commonwealth.  It is expected that this will be a major topic of discussion during President Trump's upcoming state visit to the United Kingdom.

    For the USA to join the Commonwealth is a huge step and could lead to the creation of a new economic force against the expansionist plans of Russia and China, something that has never before been envisaged as a role of the Commonwealth which, unlike the United Nations, does not have a military wing.

    Whilst, at this stage, the matter does not directly affect the Australian Constitution, it could well have an impact in the future.

    It would therefore be appreciated if you could indicate whether or not you agree.

    Thank you

    Well said, Mr Benwell. Our Head of State arrangements work so well. I also support AML’s call for the GG to be appointed on the advice of both the PM & Opposition Leader, or some other method to avoid partisan nominations such as we have and have had in the past. This might avoid the unfortunate lack of protocol that occured when the King visited recently. Prof Anne Twomey suggests a sort of plebiscite to elect the GG from existing Governors to trial-run a system for a possible republic. But the only contingency plan Australia should have is in case the UK abolishes the monarchy (heaven forbid). Personally, I think one option that we should consider is installing an Australian dynasty. The possibility of widespread agreement on that and in particular, which family that would be seems very remote. However, without the kernel of an idea, there is no possibility of it eventuating.

    Thank you for your recent missive about the GG’s portrait. I have donated in the past and am a member. Are there any plans for the King and Queen’s visit to Queensland to coincide with the public holiday to celebrate his birthday on the 9th of October? I’ve just checked recent news reports and surprised there’s no mention of it. Simon Cole equanimity.blog
